I had a nice little space in front of Lavender Cottage and where the mdf was a bit higher it had a step down and made me think it would make a great little harbour for Fisherman Bob to put his boat in! I raided the outbuilding where we keep all the firewood and found a nice thin piece of ply that I then cut to size. I used the brightest blue I could find! It is Cornwall after all so a lovely blue sea is a must! I made the harbour wall from bits of wood and stone effect vinyl flooring. I made the jetty from another bit of wood and added some shells washed in by the tide. Lastly I sponged on some lighter blue paint and am undecided whether or not to just add a coat of clear varnish just to make it a bit shinier. I had thought about using some scenic water but its quite a big area and would prob need a couple of tubs which is quite expensive so won't do that at the mo. I managed to make it just low enough that I can open both doors of the cottage without having to move it.
Fisherman Bob is sorting his nets..............
.........and Barney is waiting on the jetty watching guard over the lobster pot!
Added a bit of rope to tether Bobs boat which I picked up from the beach by the caravan.
And of course a Quayside lifebuoy!
Quite pleased how it turned out considering the total cost was free! :-)
brillant, the best projects are free x
